On 26 and 27 April, a youth festival of national culture was held under the title “Peace! Friendship! Harmony!” in communities in the districts of Karacha and Sovietskoe Bazar-Korgon in Jalal-Abad Oblast.

On 31 May 2011, “Ak-Buura, Suleiman Too”, a public enterprise linked to the Mayor’s Office in the town of Osh, began implementation of the “Cash for Work” project, with financial support from the representative office of the International Resource Group (IRG) in the Kyrgyz Republic.

On 9 June 2011 in the town of Osh, the “Women Peacebuilders” network organised an event entitled “Bread of Peace” with the support of UN Women. The event was timed to coincide with the anniversary of the June events and was carried out with the underlying message of “Bread as a Symbol of Peace, Prosperity and Development”. The aim of the event was to commemorate those killed in the tragic events of June 2010. Members of Women’s Peace Committees from every district in Osh Oblast also took part in the events in order to demonstrate their commitment to peace and harmony by baking bread together and distributing it among residents and visitors to the town of Osh.
